1. Announcements
and
Updates:
• New
VPI:
Welcome
Kathleen
Welch!
• BSLCAC
committee:
Victoria
passed
around
copies
of
the
2012‐13
BSLCAC
membership
list.
The
following
membership
changes
were
made
this
year:
o Antonio
Alarcon
(recently
hired
in
FA)
replaces
Francisco
Tostado
as
Financial
Aid
Rep.
o Starting
this
term,
two
positions
were
removed
from
the
membership
requirements:
SLO
Coordinator
and
Marketing
Director.
• LC
Flex
Activity:
Committee
members
were
invited
to
a
Flex
Activity
on
Learning
Communities,
Wed.,
Feb.
6,
10a‐12p
in
HORT
5001;
Eric
Grabiel,
workshop
organizer,
described
how
the
idea
for
this
event
originated
in
2009
during
a
trip
to
the
Washington
Center’s
Summer
Institute
on
LCs
in
which
various
faculty
and
administrators
participated.
Eric’s
long
term
goal
as
future
BS/LC
Coordinator
is
to
offer
ongoing
LC
flex
workshops
on
a
yearly
or
bi‐yearly
basis.
• ACE
Spring
offerings/updates:
o AMAP:
Sadie
Reynolds
discussed
a
recent
partnership
between
ACE
and
the
Medical
Assisting
program.
A
2‐week
ACE
Foundation
Course
(DMCP
110)
was
folded
into
the
Accelerated
Medical
Assisting
Program
(AMAP)
learning
community,
which
students
completed
with
great
success
last
week.
A
Team‐Self
Management
(DMCP
111)
course
will
also
be
folded
into
this
cohort
this
spring.
ACE
looks
forward
to
partnering
up
with
other
Allied
Health
(and
other)
programs
at
Cabrillo!
o ACE:
two
social
justice
cohorts
are
being
offered
in
Aptos
this
spring
semester;
Natalia
Córdoba‐Velásquez
provided
a
brief
update
on
LC
guided
enrollments
and
recruitment
efforts
that
occurred
over
winter
break
(which
are
continuing
this
and
next
week)
and
current
enrollment
numbers
for
both
cohorts.
The
expectation
is
that
both
cohorts
will
fill.
• LCC:
Victoria
discussed
the
ongoing
challenges
of
having
a
short‐staffed
Learning
Community
Center
which
relies
heavily
on
student
intern
support.
LCC
supervisors
are
investigating
long
term
solutions.
Victoria
also
thanked
Sadie
Reynolds
for
recruiting
two
amazing
student
interns
(volunteer/Federal
Work
Study)
to
work
in
our
office
this
term.
2. Update
on
New
Federal
and
State
Regulations:
At
our
last
BSLCAC
meeting,
committee
members
expressed
a
desire
to
gather
all
relevant
information
about
new
changes
that
affect
our
students’
financial
aid
and/or
ability
to
reenroll
in
courses—i.e.,
repeatability,
repetition,
30
basic
skills
unit
limit,
high
school
diploma/GED,
Ability
to
Benefit
test,
etc.
Therefore,
Tama
Bolton
and
Tootie
Tzimbal
were
invited
to
present
us
with
information
regarding
recent
changes
in
financial
aid
and
academic
policies.
Given
new
regulations,
faculty
should
encourage
all
students
to
declare
a
major
and
complete
an
Ed
Plan
immediately!
The
following
information
was
presented:
• Repetition
(“3
Strikes”):
A
state
mandated
change
now
makes
it
impossible
for
a
student
to
enroll
in
course
more
than
3
times
if
the
student
has
withdrawn
or
received
a
substandard
grade
(D,
F,
NP
or
NC).
This
change
is
retroactive.
o There
is
an
Appeals
process
for
students
who
meet
certain
circumstances
(i.e.,
extenuating
circumstances,
incompletes,
time
lapses,
recertification
requirements,
co‐requisites,
etc.).
Appeals
must
be
approved
by
a
Dean
although
no
data
is
available
in
terms
of
how
many
Appeals
are
actually
approved.
• Repeatability:
A
new
federal
regulation
limits
the
number
of
times
a
student
may
get
paid
financial
aid
for
courses
being
repeated.
Previously
passed
courses
with
a
“D”
or
better
can
only
be
repeated
once
for
financial
aid
payment.
• High
School
Diploma,
GED
requirements:
A
new
federal
regulation
passed
that
states
that
only
students
with
a
high
school
diploma
or
GED
are
eligible
for
federal
financial
aid.
Effective
July
1,
2012,
students
can
no
longer
qualify
for
federal
financial
aid
by
passing
an
Ability
to
Benefit
(ABT)
test
or
completing
6
Degree
Applicable
Units.
This
only
applies
to
students
who
enroll
in
a
degree
program
after
July
1,
2012
for
the
first
time
(is
not
retroactive).
o These
students
can
still
qualify
for
BOG
and
scholarships
but
will
not
be
eligible
for
federal
loans,
Pell
or
Cal
Grants.
o Students
without
a
High
School
diploma
or
GED
who
earn
an
A.A.
degree
and
subsequently
transfer
to
a
University
will
thereafter
be
eligible
to
receive
federal
financial
aid.
• Pell
Grant
Lifetime
Eligibility
Used
(LEU):
A
new
federal
regulation
passed
that
limits
Pell
grant
to
the
equivalent
of
12
full
time
semesters
or
600%
LEU
for
a
student’s
entire
academic
career.
This
regulation
is
retroactive
to
the
first
time
a
student
attended
college
and
received
a
Pell
grant.
It
does
not
include
terms
the
student
did
not
receive
a
Pell
grant.
Students
can
log
on
to
www.nslds.ed.gov
and
view
their
LEU.
o Prior
to
2004,
there
were
no
limits
to
the
number
of
semesters
students
could
receive
Pell
Grants.
After
2004,
the
Pell
Grant
was
reduced
to
18
semesters
worth.
As
of
2013,
it
is
now
12
semesters
worth
(full‐time
equivalent).
This
new
policy
is
retroactive,
and
unfortunately,
many
students
will
find
out
this
term
that
they
will
no
longer
eligible
for
the
Pell
Grant.
• Enrollment
Priority
Changes:
As
of
fall
2014,
there
will
be
changes
in
terms
of
which
students
will
be
eligible
for
priority
registration.
Due
to
the
recent
2012
Student
Success
Act
(SB
1456),
students
will
need
to
declare
a
major,
complete
the
assessment
and
orientation,
develop
an
Ed
Plan,
and
maintain
a
GPA
of
2.0
or
better
in
order
to
receive
Priority
Registration.
The
following
students
will
be
given
first
priority:
1)
Vets/Foster
Youth,
2)
DSPS/EOPS/Cal
Works,
3)
Continuing
students
with
30
earned
credits/with
1‐29
credits
who
have
fulfilled
the
above
requirements,
4)
Running
Start
students
who
have
fulfilled
the
above
requirements,
5)
New
and
Reentering
students
who
have
fulfilled
the
above
requirements,
6)
Concurrent
high
school
students
who
have
completed
the
above
requirements,
7)
New
students
who
have
not
completed
the
above
requirements,
8)
Students
on
academic
progress
dismissal
or
probation/students
with
over
100
degree
applicable
units
(some
exceptions
apply
&
there
is
an
Appeals
process).
For
more
information,
see
the
attached
handout.
• Undeclared
Major
Not
Eligible:
A
new
federal
regulation
was
passed
that
grants
Federal
Financial
Aid
eligibility
only
to
students
with
a
declared
academic
major.
Undecided
majors
are
not
eligible.
• New
Loan
Policies
and
Regulations:
ALL
students
requesting
a
loan
must
submit
an
Educational
Plan.
Only
one
loan
application
per
school
year.
Progress
reports
may
be
requested
for
students
with
a
SAP
status
of
Warning
or
Probation
before
their
loan
funds
can
be
disbursed.
PLUS
loans
will
no
longer
be
offered.
• Dream
Act
/
AB540
Students:
As
of
spring
2013,
AB540
students
will
be
eligible
for
the
BOG,
and
as
of
fall
2013
they
will
be
eligible
for
Cal
Grants.
So
far
over
70
AB540
students
have
received
the
BOG
this
term.
The
Watsonville
Center
will
host
an
informational
session
for
students
on
Wed.,
Feb.
13,
6:30pm.
An
immigration
attorney
will
also
be
available
to
provide
information
to
students
about
Obama’s
2012
Executive
Order,
“Deferred
Action.”
• New
Satisfactory
Academic
Progress
(SAP)
Requirements
for
Reinstatement:
Students
must
complete
at
least
6
degree
applicable
units
for
fall
and
spring
terms,
and
at
least
3
degree
applicable
units
for
winter
or
summer
terms.
Reinstated
students
will
be
placed
on
Probation.
• Basic
Skills
30‐Credit
Limit:
Conflicting
information
emerged
at
the
meeting
regarding
this
credit
limit,
so
more
research
will
be
done
and
presented
at
our
next
BSLCAC
meeting.
For
a
listing
of
some
of
the
above
(and
other)
FA
changes,

3. Basic
Skills
2012‐13
Action
Plan
Progress
Report:
CTE:
Although
an
official
CTE
goal
was
not
included
in
our
BSI
Action
Plan
this
year,
Victoria
reminded
members
that
BSLCAC
agreed
to
include
it
as
an
in‐
house
“goal.”
Thus,
Beth
Regardz
shared
a
2‐sided
handout
that
she
recently
created:
one
side
lists
all
major
CTE
programs
at
Cabrillo
while
the
other
side
includes
a
survey
for
CTE
faculty
regarding
basic
skills
(see
attached
copy).
She
plans
to
collect
responses
from
all
CTE
program
chairs
to
hopefully
gain
a
better
understanding
of
students’
reading,
writing,
and
math
basic
skills
levels
and/or
basic
skills
instruction
within
CTE
programs.
• Math:
Jennifer
Cass
reported
that
math
190
(math
254
equivalent
for
Allied
Health
majors)
was
showing
mixed
results.
She
also
reported
that
the
newly
created
math
course,
math
142—Intermediate
Algebra
for
Non‐science
Majors
(new
math
152
equivalent),
was
finally
developed,
submitted
to
curriculum,
and
is
now
awaiting
formal
approval.
4
math
faculty
members
comprised
the
committee
that
explored
the
creation
of
this
math
course,
and
Jennifer
is
elated
that
at
least
one
Cabrillo
math
faculty
has
already
taught
such
a
course
at
a
different
college.
The
exact
number
of
math
142
offerings
has
not
been
determined
yet,
but
4‐10
section
offerings
are
planned
for
spring
2014.
The
department
will
start
with
a
1‐semester
version
and
possibly
expand
to
a
2‐
semester
course
sequence.
• English:
Adela
Najarro,
Joseph
Carter,
and
Victoria
Bañales
reported
that
the
English
Department
offered
an
English
255
Acceleration
training
flex
workshop
last
Friday
(Feb.
5)
which
was
held
at
the
Sesnon
House.
Approximately
25
English
faculty
received
training
on
how
to
identify
and
support
the
acceleration
of
English
255
students
to
jump
to
English
1A
(skip
100).
Acceleration
started
within
the
ACE
learning
community
program
but
will
now
be
institutionalized
across
English
255
courses
to
ensure
that
all
255
students
who
show
strong
writing
and
self‐efficacy
skills
(usually
a
small
number
of
students)
are
given
the
same
opportunity.
This
will
ensure
equity
and
also
assist
in
helping
these
students
through
the
basic
skills‐to‐transfer
level
pipeline.
Joseph
Carter
will
serve
as
the
English
255
Acceleration
Rep.
and
will
compile
acceleration
results
for
future
data
research.
4. S4C:
Eric
shared
his
recent
involvement
with
the
Santa
Cruz
County
College
Commitment
(S4C),
a
countywide
collaborative
comprised
of
public
education
institutions
aimed
at
getting
every
Santa
Cruz
County
student
college‐ready.
This
year
Cabrillo
will
again
host
the
High
School
/
Cabrillo
College
collaborative
where
local
high
school
and
Cabrillo
instructors
will
have
the
opportunity
to
share
ideas
on
how
to
increase
the
college
readiness
of
high
school
students.
The
goal
is
to
convene
a
(third)
meeting
amongst
the
collaborative
(H.S.
•
and
Cabrillo
instructors
in
Math,
English,
and
ESL)
to
identify
specific
projects
and
pilot
opportunities
that
instructors
can
work
on
together.
The
meeting
will
be
a
brainstorm
and
sharing
followed
with
identification
of
projects
and
those
who
are
interested
in
working
on
them.
Eric
reported
that
the
meeting
will
be
held
on
Wed.,
March
13th
from
3:30‐5
pm
(at
Cabrillo,
room
508).
Nancy
Phillips
requested
that
the
Reading
dept.
also
be
included
in
this
event.
5.
Student
Success
Tips
for
Basic
Skills
Faculty/Students:
Eric
posed
the
idea
of
creating
a
list
or
handout
of
basic
skills
“student
success
tips”
in
an
effort
to
encourage
faculty
to
deliver
assignments/lessons
that
would
help
basic
skills
students
utilize
student
services,
resources,
and
achieve
success—for
example,
faculty
could
create
an
“office
hours
assignment”
where
a
student
must
come
visit
his/her
instructor,
or
faculty
could
create
a
“tutorial
homework
assignment”
where
a
student
must
visit
the
MLC
or
Writing
Center
to
get
assistance
on
homework,
etc.
Sadie
suggested
that
such
a
list
could
also
be
given
to
students
to
offer
tips
on
“things
successful
students
do.”
The
committee
agreed
that
this
would
be
an
excellent
flex
activity
for
fall
2013.
Meeting
adjourned
at
3pm.
AP 5055 Enrollment Priorities
References:
Title 5 Section 58108; Education Code Section 66025.8; SB 1456
Student Success Act of 2012
Priority
Registration
is
for
students
who
enroll
in
Cabrillo
College
for
the
purpose
of
a
degree
or
certificate
attainment,
transfer
to
a
four‐year
college
or
university,
or
career
advancement.
Priority
is
given
in
the
following
order
for
students
who
have
completed
orientation,
assessment,
developed
a
student
education
plan
and
are
in
good
academic
standing
(defined
in
Ed
Code
section
55031):
1. Priority for registration for enrollment must be granted to any member or former
member of the Armed Forces of the United States for any academic term (Ed Code
Section 66025.8) and to any former foster youth (Ed Code Section 66025.9).
2. Students receiving services through Disabled Student Programs and Services
(DSP&S) or Extended Opportunities Programs and Services (EOPS), and
CalWORKS/WIA.i
3. Continuing students who have declared a major and who have completed
assessment, orientation and developed a comprehensive student education plan and
are in good academic standing, by November 1st for spring registration, by April 1st for
fall registration, and March 1st for summer registration. Cabrillo breaks this group
down into smaller segments by completed Cabrillo units to allow those students
closer to completing degrees or transfer requirements a better chance at completing
their requirements and to manage the load on our registration system.
•
Continuing students with 30+ earned Cabrillo units
•
Continuing students with 1-29 earned Cabrillo units
4. New students from a Santa Cruz County high school who have declared a major and
participated in Running Start (completing assessment, orientation, and an initial onesemester student education plan or a two-year comprehensive education plan).
5. New students and re-entering students who have declared a major and completed
assessment, orientation, and developed a student education plan.
6. Concurrent high school students, who have completed assessment, orientation and
have the required paper work signed and on file with the Admissions and Records
Office.
7. New students who do not have a declared major and have not completed
assessment, orientation, and the education planning process.
8. The last groups eligible to register are students who are placed on academic
progress dismissal or probation for more than two semesters and/or those students
who have earned 100 units of degree applicable semester units at Cabrillo. These
students are not eligible for priority registration and will lose access to the Board of
Governors (BOG) Fee Waiver (SB 1456, Student Success Act of 2012). The 100-unit
limit does not include units in English as a Second Language or basic skills courses
as defined in section 55000 of Ed Code. Student on academic progress dismissal
may not be eligible to register; they must see a counselor to determine if they are
eligible for any specific semester.
Cabrillo College exempts students enrolled in the high-unit majors listed below from the
100 unit earned limit; these students will not lose enrollment priority or the BOG fee
waiver if they earn more than 100 units and are making satisfactory progress toward
their degree:
Astronomy: A.S. for transfer
Biology: A.S. and A.S. for transfer
Business: A.S. for transfer
Chemistry: A.A. and A.S. for transfer
Computer Science: A.A. and A.S. for transfer
Dental Hygiene: A.S.
Engineering: A.S. and A.S. for transfer
General Science (Science/General): A.A. and A.S. for transfer
Geology: A.S. for transfer
Mathematics: A.S. for transfer (not the AS-T)
Nursing: A.S.
Physics: A.S. for transfer
Radiologic Technology: A.S.
Registration
dates
and
times
are
assigned
by
the
Admissions
and
Records
Office
based
on
this
established
Enrollment
Priorities
list
and
the
units
completed
at
Cabrillo
College.
Student
registration
dates
and
times
will
be
communicated
using
the
student’s
email
address
listed
in
the
college’s
student
information
system
(Colleague)
and
can
additionally
be
found
by
logging
into
WebAdvisor.
Units
earned
at
other
colleges
and
universities,
and
from
AP,
Military,
CLEP,
etc.
will
not
be
considered
in
determining
registration
priorities.
Enrollment
in
courses
and
programs
may
be
limited
to
students
meeting
properly
established
prerequisites
and
co‐requisites.
[See
AP
4260
Pre‐
requisites
and
Co‐requisites.]
For
adding
or
dropping
courses
after
the
initial
registration
period,
see
AP
5075.
If
a
student
loses
their
priority
registration
or
BOG
fee
waiver
based
on
exceeding
the
100‐unit
limit,
being
placed
on
academic
progress
dismissal
for
any
extenuating
circumstances
as
defined
by
Title
5
section
58108
(verifiable
accident,
illness
or
other
circumstances
beyond
the
control
of
the
student),
the
student
may
appeal
to
have
priority
registration
or
the
BOG
fee
waiver
reinstated.
Also,
students
on
academic
progress
dismissal
who
demonstrate
significant
academic
improvement
may
appeal
to
regain
their
priority
registration
(see
